WHO WE ARE
For many years, our family business "BioTeeManufaktur Hessen GmbH" has been a wholesaler of organically grown and wild collected herbs and spices. BioTeeManufaktur was founded in 1984. Since then, we have sourced our raw materials mainly from farms in Germany, Austria and Southeast Europe. The wild collection takes place according to legal guidelines and goods come from controlled areas.
We support farmers and collectors of our partner companies through regular visits and on-site inspections, targeted cultivation advice and guaranteed contract purchasing. This enables us to adapt the cultivation to the needs of our customers, which means greater security in planning for both farmers and customers.
Our range includes a variety of herbs and spices, we can supervise their cultivation from sowing to harvest. Our consultancy service for organic cultivation and wild collection of herbs and spices makes us unique in Europe.
ORGANIC Certification
German organic label
The German organic label is a hexagonal, green, black and white symbol that can be used to label food and other products in Germany that meet the criteria of the EC Organic Regulation. Like all seals of approval, the organic seal, which was introduced in September 2001 as part of the agricultural revolution, is intended to provide guidance for consumers.
EUROPEAN ORGANIC SEAL
A product receives the European organic label if it contains a maximum of 0.9% genetically modified material and at least 95% of the ingredients come from organic farming.
The uniformity ensures a broad market - even non-EU countries now base their regulations on the food law of the European organic label.
NATURLAND ORGANIC SEAL
The private organic seals meet the European requirements as a minimum value. Traditional organic seals (Demeter, Naturland etc.) ensure further higher standards such as 100% organic cultivation.
